Rad replacement
Hello guys, so I'm looking to replace my rad as i sprung a leak on my way home today (that was fun***55357;***56900;) anyways after some searching I found out that the RS rads are not quite comparable due to the centre cap on the rad being differently placed. It seems as though the fit would leave very little room between the hose and the belts. From what I have searched quite a few people are suggesting the Turbo Legacy 90-94 radiator?
Basically I'm just looking for the cheapest replacement rad I can get so I can get my vehicle back on the road ASAP as it is my DD right now. Any info would be greatly appreciated. BTW my vehicle is a 98 sti type r. |

Those few people are correct! I replaced my 98 jdm wrx rad with the 90-94 Turbo Legacy ones. Direct fit too, just need to change the top rad bracket over from your old one. I bought a 1inch rad off ebay which comes down to around $80 CAD. Good Luck!

im in the same situation.
Does it have to be from a turbo? does a 2.2 work? |

Mine is an auto. But 2.2 turbo legacy does have manual versions which will work out the same.

Thanks for all the help guys. The radiator dropped right in without any issue. Couldn't be more happy with the result.
